Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

No one could have predicted…

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

This blog will pay for itself.

After roe, women are no longer free.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Nothing worth doing is easy.

But does it cure male

But does it cure male pattern baldness and impotence? The buffoons at the NY Times spend more column inches on CFR, or as we call it here, the LARGE MEDIA MONOPOLY EMPOWERMENT ACT (aka McCain Feingold). I should keep a running tally on the number of column inches they spend promoting CFR, and I should see how many issues they attempt to connect it to.

It appears that there is going to be a blue-light special at K-Mart. One good thing about recessions in our economy- it makes businesses that should not exist or that have out-lived their purpose face facts. It does not take an award-winning economist to figure out why K-Mart will soon be bankrupt. Go visit the one in your hometown, and the reasons will be abundantly clear.

Just noticed this blurb in the Best of the Web.

Somali-American “community leaders” in Minneapolis–home of America’s biggest concentration of Somali immigrants–are calling for a boycott of “Black Hawk Down,” “charging the new movie depicts their African homeland’s people as savages and could create a backlash against refugees who fled to the United States,” the Associated Press reports.

“The Somali people are depicted as very savage beasts without any human element,” Omar Jamal of the St. Paul-based Somali Justice Advocacy Center, tells the AP. “I’s just people shooting each other.”

People shooting each other? In a war movie? This is shocking! It’s not totally unheard of, though. A few years ago, we went to see “Saving Private Ryan,” and it, too, featured people shooting each other. How come German-Americans didn’t boycott?

The answer of course, is simple. German-Americans are white and predominantly Christian, and thus not afforded professional victim class designation.

Greg Hlatky at A Dog’s Life discusses the Korean practice of eating dogs.

I like dogs more than most people, so I think it should be clear where I stand on this issue.

Just watched Alan Keyes’s new show. It will not make it. Too C-spanish. He did have an interesting discussion about the military tribunals with some members of the proletariat that he brought on, but overall the show seemed to be four hours long, when in fact it was only one.
